Because I have routinely shown love to Austin Staab here on Swim Aids, I think it’s time to spread the hometown love to another Columbus area swimmer. I can do what I want, remember? Aren’t blogs grand?

Anyway, Reynoldsburg, OH (suburb of C-Bus) native and former Univ. of Arizona swimmer, Adam Ritter officially turned professional. Way to go! Earlier this year, he came back to his old swim club, Greater Columbus Swim Team of Ohio and did a clinic. He is scheduled to do another two during the holidays. Love when athletes give back to the community and clubs that they came up through. It’s nice to see!

Here’s the rundown on Adam’s recent signing. He did not go the Octagon/PMG route. He will be repped by Arluck Promotions, based in Miami Beach, FL. Adam already has a website, located at AdamRitterSwim.com. And before anyone asks, no, we had nothing to do with his site. Although we have made the collective prediction that Adam will be Beijing-bound after securing a spot on the 800 Free Relay.

So, now that another swimmer has signed with an agent, which swimwear co. do we think he signs with? Arizona is a NIKE school, but they only seem to sign 1 or 2 swimmers per quadrennium. I’m going to guess TYR because they’re high up on my list lately.
